This diagram shows the model of the neon atom.


Atomic Number: 10

Atomic Mass Unit (A.M.C.): 20.1797

Density: 0.0008999 Grams per cubic centimeter

Melting Point: -249 °C

Boiling Point: -246 °C

Group in Periodic Table: Noble Gases

Classification: Non-Metals

Where it can be found: Neon can be found in the form of gas with a single neon molecule in the Earth and despite it being the fourth most abundant element, only 0.0018% in the Earths volume is neon.


Environmental Risk Factors: Neon is a rare atmospheric gas and poses no threat to the environment because it is chemically nonreactive.

Health Risk Factors: Neon is a potentially dangerous gas if inhaled can cause asphyxiant and if came in contact with can cause frostbite.
